KIEV, Oct. 2 - The price of natural gas that Ukraine imports from Russia will increase to $410 per 1,000 cubic meters in the fourth quarter, up from about $400/1,000 cu m in the third quarter, Energy and Coal Industry Minister Eduard Stavytskiy said Wednesday.

"We have preliminary calculations, according to which the price is around $410 per 1,000 cu m," Stavytskiy told reporters.

The price, which is figured out every quarter, is linked to the price of crude oil and gasoil.
